Jericho Blues Songtext
von The Hillbilly Thomists

Well I′m short my Lord
Short in all kinds of ways
Well I'm short my Lord
Short on stature, short on faith
But I hear You make the difference up
You can make it up all the way

Well they say I′m on the take
But I'm just doing my job
But they say I'm on the take
Well I′m just doing my job
′Cause I'm the taxman
Ooh I′m the taxman


But there's a tree down on Main Street
Where I can get a pretty good view
There′s a tree down on Main
Where I can get a pretty good view
See what the talk is all about
Who are You?

Well I heard You call my name
Like I never heard before
Well I heard You call my name
Like I never heard before
So I'm coming down quickly
I want to hear Your voice some more

Well the walls around this town
Came down so long ago
Well the walls around this town
Came down so long ago
There′s just some more walls around my heart
And it's time for it to go


Well I'm short my Lord
Short in all kinds of ways
Well I′m short my Lord
Short on stature, short on faith
But I hear You make the difference up
You can make it up all the way
